2018 Strategic Economic Plan consultation events:

Businesses and other organisations are being given the opportunity to shape the future of an area with an economic output worth over £45billion.

Five free public events will be staged by the D2N2 LEP, to consult businesses and other organisations on how they think the LEP area’s economy should develop in the next decade up to 2030.

D2N2 manages over £500million in resources (via funding from the UK Government and European Union); to invest in its business growth, capital projects, infrastructure, employment promotion and other services.

Programmes are guided by its long term Strategic Economic Plan (or SEP); which is now being ‘refreshed’ and updated to meet the LEP area’s changing economic needs, up to 2030. An online draft of the refreshed SEP can be read on this website by CLICKING HERE.

This event will focus on the people and skills element of the Strategic Economic Plan and will include consultation on the content, priorities and future governance of the D2N2 People and Skills Strategy.

All events will feature a presentation on the Strategic Economic Plan proposals and an open discussion, for the audience to join in. There will also be information on D2N2’s wider work promoting economic growth in the area.

As well as attending these events, individuals and organisations can also give their views on the ‘refreshed’, draft Strategic Economic Plan by completing an online survey form at web link: https://goo.gl/forms/0MaRLDh64EGfTpdn1
